    Katie5 replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    Praise him first- he did help save a life....THEN caution him on

  2. I work with a DUMB nurse!

    Katie5 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I wouldn't exactly call her actions dumb. Those actions are very deliberate. Perhaps as a compensation for something she feels lacking. But that is not sign of being dumb...she knows EXACTLY...

  3. Why do I miss the REALLY good threads?

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. One of my creeds is to try and be agreeable within reason as possible in real-life. We agree to disagree but we do so with understanding, so the relationship is not harmed. On cyberspace, that...

  4. Why do I miss the REALLY good threads?

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't lived till you argued a little- it jolts you of your mindset. Makes you think hard trying to defend your stance while at the same time realising that another individual seperate from you...

  5. Why do I miss the REALLY good threads?

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    By "really good", I meant argumentative threads. "Sigh" if you hadn't figured, I kinda like that. Yes, I'm wired that

  6. Identifying yourself as an RN when flying commercial

    Katie5 replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    Pardon me, but either I am slow or my humility is in over-drive here. I seriously seek to understand. Is there a prestige to being an RN. I mean everyone should love their jobs and I do love mine as...

  7. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    Katie5 replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ. but you're wrong on that. NEVER EVER SAY NEVER ,

  8. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    Katie5 replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's just me but am I missing something here? What is a Volunteer position? One that I willingly choose to do for a given or not period of time and can leave off whenever I feel I must have...

  9. Excuse me! Yoohoo! Hey you! Doctor Person!

    Katie5 replied to PostOpPrincess's topic in General Nursing

  11. Instructor reamed me even though nurse said I did right thing..what do you think?

    Katie5 replied to Angels_wearScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the instructor comes first before the nurse. At this point in time, the instructor is in charge of you. If anything happens, the school gets sued and she would have been responsible for...

  12. I don't know if I can handle another 3 months of this. Dangerous doc?

    Katie5 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol Caliotter:). Why resort to that?Don't fight fire with fire. Let her run and gym up instead. Summer is round the corner- so get your bikini self ready.Besides much stress is released that

  13. I don't know if I can handle another 3 months of this. Dangerous doc?

    Katie5 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Forgive me for diving in, but what I fail to understand is why you, the NP should be the one noticing all his "flack". You said you had to call the Director MD, in twice and he thought nothing of it,...

  14. Pay Scales

    Katie5 replied to Lisa, MA's topic in General Nursing

    I was originally going to make a cutting comment and then I paused and rethought it. You can not be faulted for thinking as you do. But dear, physical strength is not always all about it.If it were...

  15. "NP's Are Smart Nurses" ????

    Katie5 replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    "smart nurses"? Isn't that a good

  16. Will you give out a medication without the order yet?

    Katie5 replied to rn4ever?'s topic in Patient Medications

    She with the experience should know better. Don't let her intimidate you- if there's no doctor's order, pls do not give

  17. "Eat Your Spinach" Nurses: How commonplace?

    Katie5 replied to is5512's topic in General Nursing

    I love me some Spinach:) yum

  18. When everybody knows your name

    Katie5 replied to 313RN's topic in General Nursing

    It makes me chuckle every time I read an article on discontent in nursing. Like in every other station in life, there is always hierarchy, some good and some bad. Now, why would we want to quench all...

  19. Why dont' nurses help each other?!

    Katie5 replied to scorpio24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Perhaps I'm "rude" to the know-it-all version of experienced nurses. But thanks for the advice sweetie, I;ll remember

  22. Why dont' nurses help each other?!

    Katie5 replied to scorpio24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi Nurse-lou, I had to take a moment to reread thread title and it said, why don't nurses help each other? and not "To the experienced nurse.". Err, you may want to get your bearings right....and...

  23. patient dies from combination of drugs that doc prescribed. who is responsible?

    Katie5 replied to premedwoahs's topic in General Nursing

    True but let's not put all the burden on the nurse now- if she knew her job description included all that, then heck, she could have gone on to medical school

  24. Why dont' nurses help each other?!

    Katie5 replied to scorpio24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In a nutshell! Both with the novices & the experienced, all you see is petty squabbling- over who said what, who is the more liked or favored, who seems to have a better workload....constant...

  25. Why dont' nurses help each other?!

    Katie5 replied to scorpio24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    True you're helping them and they should sometimes return the favor:), but genuine help should not seek the give and take. You truly help when you realize the other person is swamped and would need...
